Busy-ness As Usual

Happy Monday!

This weekend was busy as usual, but something kind of cool happened for Mason. A few weeks ago Mason was invited to emcee a talent show at a kids fair. He accepted and was so excited! A few days before the event, he got the line up of talent and what they were performing and he took the time to write out clever introductions for each of them. I have a longtime friend who is a radio DJ here in Sacramento and he did several recorded introductions for Mason, and that just put him in a headspace to do an even better job.  I was so proud of him, he handled himself like a seasoned professional. As is to be expected, there were additions to the show and changes and he made notes and wrote introductions for the new talent on the spot. There is always a person or two that approaches me and tells me what a polished and eloquent boy Mason is for only 12 years old, but on Saturday, it was many! There were several people who came just to meet him and take pictures. This is certainly not any kind of huge celebrity, but if he keeps working hard like he did for this project, he will be a real celebrity some day. I've included a little snippet/montage of his performance on Saturday, see for yourself how comfortable he was and why I think he has a career outside of just cooking demos. 




Sunday he had another performance that provided the opportunity to ride a toilet in the Toilet Bowl Races. Mason was one happy 12 year old this last weekend! Of course I have video, but you have to go to Mason's page on Facebook to see it. 

This week, Dave and I are preparing the house for our housewarming on Saturday and of course, Sunday is Mother's Day. Mason and I will be at BerryFest in Roseville where he will be doing two cooking demos at 11 and 2. Yep, it's the crazy, awesome life we lead!
